Since the stylesheet is being downloaded and parsed by your browser, and you’re ultimately (software-depending) in control of your local browser (aka ‘user agent’, aka ‘client’) you can override the CSS you receive using a variety of means. It’s been ages since I did this regularly (back when I used reddit frequently I would have my own reddit stylesheets) but your two options generally come down to:

1. editing your browser’s local stylesheet2. using a plugin with varying features to effectively do this [1] for you

aeporia, thank you very much for your suggestion. it helped me hide some annoying headers in a couple sites I only want to see the content...

unfortunately I was not able to find the custom css folder for chrome in w7 described in the 1 guide you linked. is the guide outdated or am I bad at searching? anyway, I'm using the second method for now.

Also one way is if you invert the colors. Not ideal by any means but on a mac it is really fast. command+option+control+8. thought Id throw my 2 cents in.

No worries mate.

I did some more looking into modifying Chrome’s user stylesheet — it appears Google has made this a PITA since v33. I think you’re right that the first link is now outdated; using a plugin seems to be the best method currently. :/
